The Texas-based blues rock outfit ZZ Top rose to prominence in the early 1970s with its dirty brand of southern rock and wailing guitar solos. After releasing its 1971 debut album, fittingly titled ZZ Top's First Album, the band established its raw, earthy sound and attitude with fuzzy guitars and rollicking rhythms. Each of the band's subsequent releases throughout the decade earned critical acclaim and a fair amount of radio play, proving that the three-piece band's Texas drawls and dirty jokes resonated with fans outside of the Lone Star State. ZZ Top continues to release its bluesy southern rock music and remains one of the most easily identifiable acts around with two of its three members sporting bushy, chest-length beards.

Combining the carefree, sunny pop of 1970s disco with modern electro, Rich Aucoin creates hip and vibrant party music. The Halifax, Canada-native debuted in 2007 with the Personal Publication EP, which was well-received in Canadian electropop circles. Aucoin claims that over 500 Canadian musicians lent a hand on the album and that he recorded it at various spots all over the country. If that's indeed true, it'd certainly fall in line with the festive, dance party free-for-all spirit of the recordings. For his live show, Aucoin expands to a lively full-band format with live drums, synths, guitar and group vocals.
